Subject: Do you keep salvation? |
Bible Note: Hello Flinty, One has eternal life from the moment they are saved! (John 3:36, 10:28, 1 John 5:12). Neither of these verses say they have eternal life "in heaven". In fact, 1 John 5:12 states quite clearly that: "He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life." The real question is" at what point does someone have the Son? I think that is answered by Rom. 10:9-10 : "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." The context of "He who stands firm to the end will be saved.” (Matt 24:13) does not support that this verse is dealing with salvation. It is not. The old "you-can-loose-your-salvation" argument has been hashed, re-hashed, tired and worn out on the SBF. May we avoid this never-ending debate? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
